Japanese archery (Kyudo) is one of Bushi-do, a traditional path of mastery in the Samurai way. It not only develops skills but also spirituality within as it requires enormous concentration and freeing all of your personal desires. Your mind must be clear and focused. A busy mind blurs the focus and likely leads to missing the target. It is truly facing yourself. The goal is to feel interconnectedness and achieve a selfless state. Meeting as strangers. Challenging Ourselves. Leaving as friends!
